A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harrissaying things she did not say is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead with Election Day about three months away.

The video gained attention after tech billionaire Elon Musk shared it on his social media platform X on Friday evening without explicitly noting it was originally released as parody.

The video uses many of the same visuals as a real ad that Harris, the likely Democratic president nominee, released last week launching her campaign. But the video swaps out the voice-over audio with another voice that convincingly impersonates Harris.

    It always baffles me to say she’s unqualified when she objectively has more relevant work experience than Trump.

    Also the “try to sound black” part is just… there’s a lot to unpack there.

      Yes, but woman.

      That’s all the convincing the MAGA crowd need to view someone as unqualified for leadership.
